Migration Strategy of Developing Countries to Broadband Network and future Networks (NGN, IMT-2020)

Mamadou Oury SAKHO Guinea (Republic of)

SUMMURY Telecommunications networks have become fundamental economic and Social infrastructures in the world in general and in developing countries in particular. Network infrastructure is useful to all sectors of the economy;

They have a crucial role in the exchange of goods and services at national and international levels and are the main determinant of the evolution of economic interrelations in a context of rapid technological change and the emergence of a whole new set of new services.

However, in order for the potential

• f these new network technologies

to be realized in developing countries, these technologies will have to converge towards NGNs (IMT-2020) and their coverage will be more or less universal.

Introduction

Telecommunication networks are currently experiencing major technological developments in the

• world. The shift from wire to wireless, which is

increasingly being used, is a significant change in itself, particularly in developing countries. The successful transition of these network systems to NGN technologies requires an ICT development strategy, understanding critical success factors and changing key performance indicators ("Hard" factors, "Soft" factors).

Migration strategy (Case of Guinea)

The Global Telecommunication sector is characterized by a change in technologies to future networks, NGN, mobile telecommunications computing (IMT-2020). Like the developing countries, the Government of the Republic of Guinea, a commitment to large-scale construction

• f high-speed telecommunications networks

for the bearer of the capacities brought by the landing of ACE submarine cable to the citizen where he Is located on the national territory. To realize this vision, the Government of Guinea adopted in 2010 its National Policy and Strategy for the Development of Information and Communication Technologies (DPSNTIC), built around seven (7) strategic axes.

Migration Strategy (Other Cases)

Approximately 23,000 km of fiber was deployed in Africa between 2010 and 2013. In Burundi, Rwanda and Kenya, for example, new national fiber ridges have been built and are accessible to all retail

• perators on a non-discriminatory free access model.

In Tanzania, a national backbone has been built from fiber already available on the high-voltage power cable and fiber on rail and road infrastructure, while in many other countries, such as India, Kenya And in South Africa, utilities are selling wholesale fiber capacity to wholesalers.

The Burundi's backbone, in a public-private partnership, was used to deploy the national fiber backbone. Ghana : In July 2006, the World Bank approved a $ 40 million loan to help Ghana create growth and jobs by developing ICTs and public-private partnerships around the following three pillars.

Senegal: With Senegal digital 2020, the National

Strategy for the Development of the Digital Economy, is based on a vision ; Access to broadband internet at affordable costs; Digital spatial planning and digital broadcasting; the development of infrastructure to provide the very high THD broadband for 60% of the population at an affordable price by 2020.

Ivory Coast: The digital strategy of Côte

d'Ivoire is one of the explicit components of the emergence strategy, which is based on a long-term vision, guiding the implementation of three pillars: administration (e-administration) (E-business), and social (e-inclusion),

Mali: Mali has put in place a Mali Digital 2020

plan, which has made the analog digital transition one of the five-year strengths. The

• bjective is to reorganize, rectify and develop

the new information and communication technologies (ICT) sector in "Plan Mali Digital 2020.

Liberia: The Liberian Government's digital

Strategy is focused on development (ICT4D). It proposes to put digital technology and creation

• f infrastructures, development and promotion
• f technologies (m-payment, m-health, m-

education) and public awareness.

Burkina Faso: In 2014, the ITU conducted a review

• f the ten (10) years of implementation of the

decisions in Burkina Faso. Support infrastructure is

• ne of the pillars of accelerated growth, with

information and communication technologies as

• ne of the sub-components.

Cameroon: The strategy for broadband development in Cameroon can be seen from two angles: Wired and Mobile Infrastructure. Submarine Cables, National Backbone, Urban Optical Loops and Optical Access Networks.

Recommendations: In view of the solutions

envisaged for the benefit of the developing countries, for a reliable and judicious migration, we recommend:

In developing countries:

• Establish cyber legislation and an appropriate

institutional framework for the implementation of a national strategy for migration to NGN;

• Advocate for a national policy calling on
• perators to change their networking systems wit

a view to achieving full adoption and migration to future networks;

• Encourage the deployment and convergence of

IP, broadband networks to next generation "backbone" networks;

• Provide the necessary resources for the

deployment and universality of NGNs;

• Fostering competition policy and return on

investment;

• Update the economic regulation system of the

new telecommunications market, in particular next generation networks;

• Encourage the emergence and innovation of

content and application services;

• Produce and facilitate affordable multiservice

economic models and the integration of voice communications, data transfer and video;

• Establish an "all-IP" infrastructure and provide

FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) network facilities in all urbanization plans;

At the ITU:Provide the necessary support to

the developing countries to upgrade their network systems and a successful migration to the new generations by 2020.

Proposal: We propose to ITU-T an additional

question entitled: "National Strategy of Developing Countries for the Migration of Network Systems to Future Networks (IMT-2020)".

Conclusion: The strategy for introducing NGN

(IMT-2020) technology in developing countries requires a political decision, followed by a commitment by operators, motivated by an

• bjective and transparent regulation of the

Telecommunications /ICT sector. In such a context

• f these developing countries, moving from a set
• f separate network infrastructures to next

generation IP-based networks will be a logical evolution allowing operators

to design new offerings of innovative content and integrated services An interactive, with the aim of maintaining their user base, attracting new users and increasing average revenues per subscriber and consequently the GDP of the different countries. Migration to these next generation networks to transform core business processes and product

• fferings from all layers of networks and elements
• f the overall Architecture will enable operators

to save billions year.
